That this fleeting, under the pressure of the unprecedented eituation in which the measures of his Majesty's Ministers have placed them, do consider it the imperative duty, not only of the Ship.Ow nera o f t hi s, b ut of every o t her seaport in the United Kingdom, to use all the means and exertion in their power, to induce his Illajesty'm Government to abandon the pernicious and destructive system they have adopted. 3d.

FRIDAY EVENING, JU LY 21, 1826 from his support, and, by a strong effort, repressing the tears that trembled on her eyelids ; "it is time we parted;" "My brother and his followers seek me, and will soon be here. But why, why do you look so wildly?" " Brother ! do you call him," ceekimed the youth, " call him not--think him not a brother ; he it was that feigned your death —he that detained my steps in distant lands--he that, to accom plish his own selfish views of ambition, wrests from you your inheritance, and would have made two faithful—they were once two happy hearts, Elliee,—the stepping stones to raise him in his course of darkness." The . brother and his party interrupt their conversa tion, and Ellice is borne away to the castle, where she becomes dangerously ill from the effects of her fright, and the sudden interview with her lover. Chiverton takes advantage of this illness, and gives it out that she is deranged— " S i r John," returned the Physician, n I have already ventured to point at the only mode which my hasty judgment is able to de vise, by which Prestwyche may be prevented from thwarting your designs. That he may disclose t o t h e f at h er o f th e l a dy, w h om you intend to make your bride, circu ms t a n c es, most necessary to be concealed from him, and which St. Mauricealone can commu nicate, is too probable to require observation . Perhaps, by deeper consideration, a plan milder than the one proposed, and at the same time equally efficient, might be devised. But if, which ap pears not unlikely, the mischief were done, ere the plan be ma tured, the pleasure of contemplating so ingenious a design, might possibly hardly outweigh the inconvenience of par.:- - ig with the honours and possessions of Chiverton." As if eager to escape from the doubts and indecision of his own mind, the Knight hastily answered, " Well, have it as thou wilt; kill, slay, murder—l care not what—manage all—direct all, only rid me of this accursed enemy and—thou halt not found me ungrateful." The following is a sweet picture of a lovely and blushing bride :-- Indeed she was beautiful :—she had the winning beauty that looks and smiles itself into the heart, before the critic judgment can scan the lineaments, which fancy invests with even more than their native loveliness. The light laughing graces of seventeen— she was budding into womanhood, yet could scarcely be more than seventeen—played around her form and countenance, Her ringlets of a glossy brown—her blue eyes and pouting lips, all shared in the charm which youth and happiness wove around her, like the hues of a fairy dream :—the buoyancy of every ,no tion—the elasticity of every step, spoke the mental and bodily health of the r e j o i c i ng g i r l. " Isabel is a good girl" said the old Knight, " I shall lack my (laughter—she is truth, the treasure of my age." His eye glistened as he spoke," my heart will be heavier when thou art gone, wench—'twill be the first time that thou ever mad'st it heavy." The vault scene is powerfully wrought. Prestwyche had been thrown into a subterraneous dungeon to await the torments whi c h Chiverton and the Physician ware preparing for him, while Ellice, in the mean time struggled through gloomy passages to effect his libera tion. She knocked at the door of his dungeon, but only the echoes answered her. " He speaks not," said Ellice inwardly, " he will speak no more. His heart is cold, and mine I feel, will not long survive. Yet, the last tribute of affection, Ellice Chiverton may yet pay. I will visit his cold corse, and take a last look of him, who has loved but too well for himself and me. And then—l would that the same fate might reach me too : that, stretched by his, my lifeless form might attest the depth of a woman's suffering, of a woman's love." It was long ere the lock of the prison door yielded to the key which Ellice applied to it. At length it opened ; she stepped on firmly, for in the belief of his death, calamity had done its worst. There is a degree of sorrow, when it ceases to indicate itself by the outward and visible sign, and such was hers. No shudder, no tear, not the shaking of the hand, or the light quiver of the lip had betrayed, bad there been any to watch, the inward working of the spirit. • The gloomy chamber into which Ellice entered, bore a near resemblance to those she had already traversed. The damp ex halations with which It was filled, obscured the light of the lamp, whose glimmering light hardly sufficed to direct her to a corner of of the dungeon, where, stretched on a heap of straw, she discerned a figure, apparently lifeless. Her breathing stayed—her feet seemed rooted to the ground. With aviolent effort she sprang forward... dropped on.her knees by the side of the motionless form. "It is he, .he lives—holy Virgin, he lives !" The object of her hasty exclamations, aroused by them from the faint slumber in which he had been wrapped, started from his wretched couch, and cast his awakened eyes on the form of pale beauty that knelt by him. "My dream, yet here! and am I not awake--'tis even more distinct—speak, I adjure thee? what art thou, that hauntest thus my sleeping and waking hours in that semblance?" " And dust thou ask who I am, Reginald ?—am I en far for gotten in one brief hour ?—for surely 'tis not more since we parted. But thou avert wounded, and --" 4. Speak to me not of wounds-i—of hurts--I know none—l feel none, while thou art here. But say, how earnest thou hither ? —has cruelty dared—but no, it could not—thou art not imprisoned in these dreary vaults ?" " Think not so harshly, Reginald ;—but thy wounds—thy wounds? I must e'en, for want of a better, be thy leech? and wilt thou dispute with thy physician ?" She prevented his reply, and opening the box she had brought with her, took thence the materials of her simple surgery. The parting scene ensues. She urges his departure to save his life, and he insists upon her accompanying him to regain her liberty and rights. The outlet from this dungeon was on the overhanging bank of a river. She again urged his flight—he repeated his solicitations that it might not be alone. She replied to him gently, but firmly; he felt, but would not even to himself acknowledge, a conviction of the truth of her words. " And now," added Ellice, "thou had oft in happier days, seemed to reproach me--nay—interrupt me not—thou but done so, if not in words, yet in tones and looks as easy to be understood —that I have been, as thou deemed'st, too backward in acknow ledging the feelings I have felt for thee. Thou didat wrong, Regi nald—it is not in professions that a woman's love is shewn. But I will tell thee now, for in a moment like this words may have free course—that never woman loved man better than Ellice Chiver ton has loved thee. And by that love—by thine own—by all our mutual hopes—l do again conjure thee to fly ; 'tis but mad ness to stay. Dort thou still linger? I have conjured thee by all that is dearest to me, and should be so to thee—wilt thou deny me ?" The blushes which on her avowal of her love had rushed into her cheeks, still mantled there as she ceased; there was a glowing earnestness in her tune, and manner, that would nut be resisted. Prestwyche yielded to it. He went—and she returned into the vault, but her lamp went out, Presently her brother and the phy sician entered the cave, and missing the liberated lover, were madly grieved. Ellice retired in a corner, and heard the proposition of the Doctor to destroy her as the only means of securing the ?ossession of the estates. The poor girl, in a fit of terrified fondness, rushed from her hiding place and fell at her brother's feet, clasping his knees' and imploring his merciful protection. He raised her with emotion and tried to support her, when she exehkimed, " Reginald, my Reginald." Th e mention of this hated name roused him to frenzy, and he dashed her to the ground.— The act was scarce done, when be threw himself on his knees and essayed to lift her. un der whit+ she had laboured; to o l f ch tli n e te to n r ot ;o " r she eaclaimed, for the sh oc k h a d fearfullybeside ,t sc h h o e ms r , eina 0 oe tn ; you are not my brother—you will murd er me— ktip.,,,ged help me !" and dishing with frenzied haste through the door of the passage, she retraced, with all her speed, her steps towards the rock. " Her senses are gone !" exclaimed Chiverton, " and 1 wretch have,"—without completing his sentence, he sped in pursuit of her. In the heated, enfeebled state of her imagination, Ellice heard in the pursuing footsteps of her brother, in his invocations to her to desist from her flight, only the fearful sounds of death : violently as she exerted herself to gain the extremity of the passage, her brother gained fast upon her, when the light from the opening burst at a short distance upon her sight. Yet the outstretched hand of Chiverton would, ere she had reached it, have arrested her flight, had he not, at this moment, stumbled on the broken and irregular path. He fell heavily, and was stunned ; whilst Ellice, having emerged from the cave, sprung wildly up the path which Prestwyche had previously ascended. At the very turn, of which she had warned him, the foot of the unfortunate girl slipped. His name was on her lips as she fell. There was a deep sullen plunge. The circling gyres, that dimpled the smooth surface of the river, as the waters dosed, glittered with cold mockery in the moon beams. They spread wider, and wider, and wider :--at length the last vibration ceased, and the stream glided on smoothly as before. SUMMER AS sins. GUILDFORD, WEDNESDAY, JULY 19. COINING. R. Fox and G. Wilson were indicted for feloniously and traitorously colouring, with certain wash and other mate rials producing the colour of silver, a certain base and counterfeit piece of metal, to the likeness and resemblance of a shilling of the current coin of the realm. The Jury, under the Learned Judge's directions, found the prisoners Guilty.--Sentence of death was recorded. EXETER, WEDNESDAY EVINING. The Judges are expected every hour. The calendar of the prisoners for trial is not formally completed ; but it unfortunately does not show offences of so light a charac. ter as have been under inquiry in the counties of Hants, Wilts, and Dorset. YORK WEANtSDAY, JULY 19. MILNES V. TAYLOR. Mr. Alderson opened the pleadings. This was an ac tion against the defendant for negligence as a surgeon.— The declaration charged him first as a surgeon, and after ward as a bone-setter. The defendant pleaded the gene ral issue. Mr. Searlett stated the case to. the jury. The plaintiff in this case was an individual in an humble situation in life. He was a stone-cutter, and - at the time the accident oc curred, was employed at an engine factory near Hudders field. While working there, he had the misfortune to fall a height of 13 feet, and a jenny coming down at the s a m e instant, and f a lli ng u p on his leg, broke it in a very bad manner.--41p to that time the plaintiff had always been considered a healthy man, and though the fracture which he had met with was undoubtedly severe, yet there could be little doubt, that under the hands of a skilful surgeon, he would have recovered in less than three months. The defendant proceeded to the plaintiff's house, to which, in the mean time, the plaintiff had been removed from the factory. The defendant examined the fracture, and being determined upon setting it, he caused a handkerchief to be 'drawn tightly round it, and to be fastened with a slip knot, so that the tighter it was drawn, the greater would be the pressure of the bandage. This ligature soon pro duced the effect of stopping the circulation of the blood, but the Whitworth doctor, unmindful of that circumstance, proceeded to surround the fracture with plasters and ban dages which he put over the handkerchief. However, he left one small portion of the leg uncovered by any bandages or splinters, so that at any time he might be able to dress the wound without removing them. The poor unhappy plaintiff bore the tortur e o f t h e li gature w i t h pat i ence. as the defendant assured him that the pain would soon be over, and that his leg would speedily get well. In spite of their faith in his skill, the patient's family could not at last fail to observe some circumstances which did not augur very favourably for their father's recovery. They perceived that the great toe was getting quite black, and that the leg had become so putrid as to be dreadfully offensive; and finally, they saw that maggots were issuing from the fracture. His family being at last convinced that the plaintiff was in danger, called in other assistance. They had not ventured on this step till the stench which came from the leg was actually noxious. Two regular surgeons were accordingly summoned, and they having examined the leg, found that the foot had actually begun to mortify. They communicated the result of their examination to the plaintiff's family, and left a message desiring to know what were the steps which the defendant had taken to effect the cure. At the same time they expressed a wish that the bandages should be removed, and declared that they ought not to have been put on in that manner. Their opinion, on being communicated to Taylor, met, as might have been expected, with his opposition.— Finally, however, the symptoms of mortification appeared too strong to render further delay possible, and the medi cal gentlemen being again called in, they amputated the leg above the knee as the only means of saving the life of the plaintiff'. It was far from his (Mr. Scarlett's) inten tion to say that a respectable surgeon was in all cases to be rendered answerable for the consequences of his treat ment of a patient, however carefully and cautiously he might have acted; for the plaintiff's claim in this case was grounded on the fact, that the defendant had neither employed care, nor skill, nor caution, but had negligently begun, and obstinately continued, a course, the almost ne cessary consequences of which was, to prevent the cure'd the wound, and to render the amputation of the leg neces sary. The only 'question was, as to the amount of the damages which the defendant ought to pay. In deter mining that question, they might ask themselves what com pensation they would think adequate to the loss of a limb ? If great wealth, high rank, or extensive power, was of fered to any of them, on condition of losing one of their limbs he had no doubt they would reject the promised splendour. They must give the' plaintiff damages in money. The degree of compensation to be thus afforded varied extremely. The loss of a limb to him who de pended for his support upon his daily labour, must be a matter of much more consequence than to a rich man, who could ride in his carriage, and could thus artifi cially the s j o u f ry a l m v o o u s i t valu these take b e n cir c umstanc e sal natural supply, divadvantage. :otar some into measu re , enase their ut re u, serious consideration, and, g lives by in awarding damages to the plaintiff , would teach a lesson of to such ti s e l l i xe c ia h rmf i ep n il ei fr as ,4oimi t b h jt e ehettiss. defendant, igiwran tl a; t d ai w np o e u r l i d ii warn tli th em, h t The evidence bore out completelv the statement of Mr. : e n d° f t h uth e Pl f follow- 1 o ut ‘ hd v Searlett.

KR JOHN CHIVERTON, a Romance, London, 1826, Bvo. pp. 317, This very interesting publication is evidently the produetion of a young but powerful mind, deeply im bued with the love of romance, and chivalrous daring. The scene is laid at Chiverton Hall, in ono of the Northern Counties of England, where the Author's fancy luxuriates with the mighty shadows of other days, conjuring up the beauty and wildness of witch ' ins scenery, blended with a mysterious agency—ro mantic recollections—lady's love, and vengeful pas sions bursting into action, till their conflict "breathes a browner horror o'er the woods." The Author dwells, perhaps, too long upon some of his descriptive scenes, for the reader- becomes too much interested in the story to muse over the pictured beauty of a landscape, however true to Nature. We are of opinion that the Dramatis Persona of this Romance, would figure passing well on the stage, and have no doubt that some ingenious master of the ceremonies, will take advantage of our hint, for the whole character of the story is perfectly dramatic, and is worked up to intense interest. Sir John Chiverton and his sister Ellice, are living on their ancestral patrimony, which had been bequeathed by their grandfather to Ellice, and her heirs, but Sir John contrives to keep her in igno ranee of this ,good fortune, and entertains a deadly enmity to her lover Prestwyche, for some unexplained cause. He manages to deceive them both, by making each believe the death of the other. He is himself in love with, and going to be married to, the daughter and heiress of a powerful Knight. In the manage ment of his schemes he is assisted by two agents, his family doctor, a second lago, and a pantomimic Moor. The story goes on with mingled interest, anguish and hope, concluding rather abruptly for the perfect winding up of the plof—but the curtain falls with dramatic effect. The language is often very poetical, and the images natural. The character of Chiverton is strongly , pourtrayed, and contrasts well with the heartless, unperturbable malignity of Scymel. The motto " she died before her time," is very apposite. The story opens with a picture of Chiverton Hall in its pristine beauty and magnificence, contrasted with its present decay and ruined grandeur. A hawking p a rty sets forth from the castle, and Ellice is plunged from her palfrey into a river, from which she is miracu lously rescued by her lover, Reginald Prestwyche, who bears her into a cavern in a state of insensibility. While endeavouring to restore her at the genial blaze, with all the tender solicitude of a lover, Ellice is fiiintly endeavouring to rise, to assure her deliverer of her recovered sensibility, when— Their eyes met. The effects of the recognition that ensued were equally remarkable and instantaneous. With a scream of astonishment, she sprung from her recumbent posture : gazed for a moment wildly and fearfully, as if doubting whether he who stood before her was indeed a living form ; and unable from weak ness to retain her upright position, would have fallen on the earth, had not an arm been ready to receive an d support her, though i from it s v i o l e nt t r embling, and the' agtated demeanour of the stranger, it :night have been doubted which was really most in need of assistance. As she lay in her deliverer's arms, a violent shudderin g passed over her frame : she raised her eyes as it ceas e d, fearfully t o th e stranger ' s —" It is—it must be he !' "Doubt it not, my Ellice," returned the stranger ; " doubt, not that it is thy Reginald ; who hoped not that these lips again should' call thee his, or these arms e'er fondly clasp the form that passio n they , one , e y feigned.

Mr. lliams—What is your charge, Sir, for settin g Wi a leg Mr. Robinson—That would depend on the nature of the fracture, and the time and skill required to set it. Mr. Justice Park—Ay, and on the condition of the party, would it not ? Mr. Robinson—Yes, my Lord. Mr. Justice Park—l know that the members of your profession, always make that very proper distinction, in order not to deprive the poor of your assistance. You Would not, for instance, charge a stone-cutter so much as you would expect from a person in my situation in life P Mr. Robinson—No, my lord; I should charge your Lordship handsomely—(Loud laughter.) Mr. J. Williams addressed the Jury for the defendant. The question really for their consideration was, what were throughthe damages which Mikes had sustain e d ; the al leged ignorance or carelessness of the defendant. The evidence here was, that the plaintiff had formerly earned 245. per week by labour, and if they gave him a verdict, the question would then be, what should be the amount of damages for an injury, the consequences of which, under any circumstances, might have been the same as they were at present. Mr. Justice Park summed up, and the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 1201. DIXO) ASSIGNIE or DODSON, AND OTIIZES, BANicaurrs, V. DARNSFIELD. This was an action brought to recover a aura of 422/., claimed to have been due to the plaintiff's estate. The plaintiff was a card-maker, residing at Ellend, near Hud dersfield, and had kept an account with Mears. Dobson, who formerly carried on a banking establishment at the latter place. There was no dispute as to the sum originally due to the bankrupts ; but the defendant in sisted on his right to set off a sum of 2921. due to him . upon small notes of their bank, which he had taken in the course of his business. He had paid the balance of the account into court. Mr. Scarlett, who led the case for the . plaintiff, said that this cause should give men a warning of the difficulties and dangers to which they exposed themselves in dealing with country bankers who issued their own notes. He did not mean to say that the law which prevented men from going into the market and buy ing up, at a small rate, the notes of a bank which had re cently failed, and then claiming to prove the full amount of those notes against that bank, was improper; on the con trary, he knew such a law was both just and necessary; but then it had the unfortunate effect of putting a bona fide holder of the, notes of such a bank under great diffi culty, as it compelled him strictly to prove that he had the notes in his possession at the very moment the bankers became bankrupts. The Learned Counsel said, that, for tunately forhis client, he possessed the means of giving that evidence in the present case; but the necessity thus imposed upon the bona fide holders of country bank notes, did seem. to him one which fully justified him in declaring his sincere wish, that be should see the day when country bank notes would cease to circulate. Evidence having been called to substantiate the fact, that all the notes which the defendant wished to set off, had been in hit possession at the time of Messrs. Dobion's bankruptcy, the Jury gave a verdict for the defendant; the money which he had paid into Court being sufficient to cover all that was due, if his right to the set-off waa admitted. SHREWSBURY, WEDIII3DAY, JULY 19. This day the business of the Assize commenced in the Crown Court, before Mr. Justice Burrough, end in the Civil, before Mr. Baron Barrow. The are only 18 cases on the calendar, and they are not of prominent interest. -STZALINO. Henry 2tlos: alias Hardy was indicted for feloniously stealing two geldings, the property of John Dieken, of Waters-Upton. The same prisoner stood also charged with being a convict under sentence of transportation for seven years, at large within his Majesty's dominions, with out lawful cause, before the expiration of the term for which he was sentenced. Mr. Justice Burrough said, that the cue of the prisoner was most serious, and he would defer pronouncing sen tence upon him this day. The criminal business will finish to-morrow; but the civil is very heavy, though entirely of local interest. CIVIL SIDE. RUCTION prANTING.....-Srusswir C. 111*(160N. Mr. Campbell said, that this was an action brought by the, plaintiff, who was proprietor of the Swan Inn, Bridge north, against Mr. Benson, a Member of Parliament, for the recovery of the amount of his flag-men's eating and drinking, when that gentleman unsuccessfully canvas lied the electors for Bridgenorth, in the year 1820.-i This canvass lasted some days, and highly to the credit of Mr. Spilsbury, the proprietor of the Swan Inn, Bridge north, his bill for feasting these standard bearers only amounted to 251., an era in the expellees of an election candidate. R. Gore assisted Mr. Spilsbury, the landlord of the Swan, in carrying on business at this election, and proved that the items of the present claim, amounting to 254, were fairly supplied in bit and sup, to the standard bearers of the candidate, and that Mr. Benson had promised to pay all the outstanding hills together. - Mr. Russell, for the defendant, said, he had merely to show that there were some items in the bill which were inadmissible. Mr. Campbell hoped that for Mr. Benson's honour, a bill Ito small, for services so important, would not be se verely scrutinized. Mi. Baron Garrow knew Mr. Benson long enough to believe, that he would wish whut was fair to be done in this matter. Mr. Russell then declined to trouble the Court any *urther, and a verdict was given for the plaintiff's demand. ARCHERY. This fine exercise is becoming quite the prevalent recreation among the distinguished families in this neighbourhood (Taunton). A few days ago, a very delightful exhillition of skill in archery took place in a field at West Monkton, under the auspices of the Reverend Mr. Afeddison, Rector of that village. Some of this ladies evinced much adroitness in the management of their bow ; and if the more subtle arrows they are in the practice of directing acquire as great a certainty of aim as those employed in the field, it would be very hazardotui to trust too much to their eyes. A very handsOme cold collation was served. up in a large contiguous Outbuilding, and dancing and music closed the day's entertainment!" The English were always famous for their skill in archery, whiss was greatly encouraged by their various Monarchs.
